North Shore Chelan Substation

Chelan County PUD has been working closely with the community since 2015 to construct a new substation to serve growth and development on the north shore of Lake Chelan. Construction of the substation, located off Henderson Road, began in February 2023. New underground distribution lines will be installed to bring electricity out of the substation to serve customers in the area.

Construction begins Spring 2023:

  • PUD contractor, Michels Pacific Energy, is now mobilized and performing daily work at the substation site
  • Starting in April, PUD contractor, Batchelor Excavation, will install new underground conduit along Highpoint Lane into Crystal View Estates
  • This fall, PUD crews will take over work at the substation site and underground conduit will be installed along Henderson and Boyd roads
  • We anticipate completing substation construction by the end of 2023 and serving customers from the new substation by spring 2024
  • During construction, please watch for trucks entering and leaving the roadway and traffic signs

Project Background

Chelan County PUD has been working closely with the community since 2015 to construct a new substation on the north shore of Lake Chelan, between Chelan and Manson. The two existing substations serving that area, Union Valley and Wapato, are nearing capacity. In November 2017, the PUD, along with community input, selected a site off Henderson Road for the new substation.
